Referees will never get anything right. The officials in any sport don't even if video technology is available. They don't always use it (when they should) and so mistakes happen. In football with the pace of play and no chance to review there will be mistakes, especially when assistant referees and 4th officials don't help. That said, I don't see retrospective boards being an answer. The Cahill one yesterday as Imurg points out could be viewed as taken preventative action.
It's a problem in the modern game and one that the top level from Fifa, Uefa and the FA aren't prepared to take action and certainly I can't see the FA taking action without Uefa sanction to do so. It will continue until someone in power, certainly not Blatter or Platini grows a pair and decides to act

I trust you actually mean 'everything' rather than 'anything'!
Here's the SFA's process. http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/rangers/285394-explained-how-the-scottish-fa-punish-diving/ Seems to work pretty well up there! The only 'problem' I see with this is that the honest it encourages/dishonesty it discourages is carried over to the National team when they play against countries where diving is an accepted part of the game!
But knowing it's going to be ignored by FIFA/EUFA means it has to be tackled by individual FAs or Leagues!
And leaving it up to the FA, especially ours, means it'll never happen

Bottom line on this thread is that players need to take a good look at themselves, whether from overseas, or British players..Refs will always miss things, but the likes of what Cahill and others did, and do is not good for the game.I think Cahill is a very good CH, for the rec.

Problem is that two weeks ago, augero got booked for diving and he got absolutely flattened in what was an obvious penalty. So refs get it wrong when it's right (penalty) and wrong when it's wrong (diving).
a ref said last week when City got a soft penalty (when Milner went down from a perfectly good challenge ) that if City keep getting decisions like that they will win the Premier. he did not say that if we keep getting decisions like the Aguero decision we will be relegated.
Why book the first two and not the third/Cahill tells me that the Bias Utd used to get has been transferred to Stamford bridge.
There is a misconception that if you book um for diving then they will stop. Saturday at Stamford bridge proved that will not be the case unless Chelsea have three of the thickest players in the prem

If you seriously think that after the Clattenburg incident then you really haven't got a clue.

Fine the managers 1 months wages, it'll soon stop. Sighting committee of 1 ref, 1 player and 3 fans.

Make it six months then who cares. In the end, you need to find away of punishing the managers.

Its not the managers doing the diving ! You punish the players who commit the act.
It's not the manager. You have to punish the players but the FA don't have the balls to act

While the managers as we saw this and many other weekends denied it is even going on when it involves their players.
Managers are there to manage (and I know it's not the modern way of thinking) and should be made responsible for everything they manage, which I believe includes players.

So do you punish a manager for everything the player does outside the laws of the game ?!
Managers will always protect their players to the media
The thing is, players get booked and sent off for transgressing the laws and the manager has no control on that on the pitch. Manager's don't get punished for that and there is no way they should get punished for a player diving. Of course in public they'll stand up for their players and you wouldn't expect them to do otherwise. It would be nice if one did stand up and say "he cheated to get that penalty" but I can't see it happening

Whats the media got to do with it. I thought this was about cheats who dive.

Umm its the media who the managers speak to when they say their players dont dive as you mentioned in your post about managers denying it :mmm:
